In which year did the Habsburgs begin to rule the Kingdom of Bohemia, after Ferdinand I was elected king?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 1526, after the death of King Louis Jagiellon at the battle of Mohács
- Step 1: The Habsburg era began in the sixteenth century. Step 2. Ferdinand I was elected in 1526. Answer: 1526. Why not the others: 1348 is the founding of the university, 1620 the battle of White Mountain, and 1781 the Patent of Toleration, so none of them starts Habsburg rule.
